Spoiler

While there has been no information about a version 9.x or any other future WoT version numbers related leaks, the existence of version 8.9 of World of Tanks has been confirmed. Along with earlier confirmation of it’s existence, the first new vehicles have also been confirmed and some screenshots released. While it’s early to speculate, since the version 8.8 isn’t even live yet again, there has been enough information released via FTR through version 8.9 supertest leaks to justify this little article ;)
The most interesting thing about version 8.9 is the second German TD line with 360 degree turreted TDs at tiers 8,9 and 10 and an autoloader at tier 10 which might be a beast, but it has also been said that the 360 degree turrets might be reconsidered during testing.
There was a couple of earlier hints about the development of some other nations tanks, released via livejournal:
- SerB is not sure about the E-50M being balanced well in 0.8.8
- new aim reticle and reload timer will come out in 8.9
- RU251 will not come in 8.9, as there are still some issues with obtaining some info from Münster
- it’s possible to expect the T-44-85 to appear publicly in 8.9, but not guaranteed
- In version 8.9, KV-1S will lose its 122mm gun, Foch, Foch155, T57Heavy and one more tank will be nerfed and about 20 tanks will be buffed (currently not known which), but it has also been said by the Chieftain that the US rebalance has been postponed from 8.9 till later.

This is it for now, more news about the new WoT version will be added as they get released. For further information you can check out FTR or the livejournals if you speak Russian ;)

20 tanks getting buffed. I hope these are the tanks that need it, the ones that stop people progressing such as t6 churchill, m3 lee, arl v39 etc. these tanks are only there to force the use of free Xp and that's so wrong for a game

Probably yes, because usually WG officially announces new tanks and makes a video before the patch they are released , I think only the french appeared in a video as a teaser two patches before they were actually released

- the IS-3 and Panzer V/IV model changes are not a part of the “global remodelling” planned for next year, they are simply bug fixes
- several vehicles for the global remodelling are already done
- there are plans for more tanks customization
- not only the quality of tank models will improve (SS: quality of objects too)- apparently, Foch and T57 Heavy will not be nerfed in 8.9
- in 8.9, cca 15 tier 1-5 vehicles will be buffed

wow..thanks for telling me that.. i did checked the FTR but i have only found the news about the remodeling of the is3 and pz4..not the other one. I will modify the news then.. thanks

They are supposed to be released either in Dec 2013 or early 2014. This means they will not be present in 0.8.9 release.

I will be actually sad if Foch and T57H don't get nerfed ... and I am saying that while being very close to get T57H(only 20k XP more) ... they are OP and deserve to get some form of nerf ... T57H needs a longer reload and Foch needs an armor nerf

Would be about time they bring in that soviet prem med. Was announced at least 2-3 patches ago.
I wonder what 85 gun they will mount on it
- The historical one, useless in WoT on anything above tier 5 or a buffed version, or
- the top gun of the T34/85.
